These serums are similar but one reigns supreme! I didn't want to sound biased in the video...but I have been using Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair (ANR) for quite some time now--2 years or so. I was out of the serum during the filming of this video (sorry!) because I was waiting for a period when Estee Lauder was offering a bonus gift with purchase. And I don't collect old bottles, so I threw the bottle away before I got the idea to make this video. Anyways, before purchasing ANR I wanted to see if I could find a cheaper alternative (such as Loreal's Youth Code) or a better alternative (such as Lancome's Genifique). I used the Lancome Genifique serum for the instucted amount of time to see improvements. I gave it a try and have a separate review video for it. In my opinion, Genifique didn't live up to the hype and I think it's overpriced. But I do think it is an effective serum. The L'oreal's Youth Code sample was quite large and I used it for 4 days. It worked well and worked similarly to Genifique. But it still did not match the ANR--which leaves my skin feeling incredibly supple and gives my face a dewier glow in the morning.
